Please enjoy the book trailer for Venice Vampyr, a historical erotic vampire novella which will be released on December 15, 2010. If you haven't entered the giveaway for this e-book yet, please do it now. You still have until Monday at 7pm PST.

Talented debut author Virna DePaul whose first Paraops Novel "Chosen by Blood" will be released in May 2011 by Berkley Publishing and I have decided on a little giveaway.

By the way, don't you guys just love the cover?

If you pre-order her book by January 1, 2011 and email me your proof of purchase, I will send you a free e-copy of one of my following books (please specify ePub, Kindle, or pdf in your email):

Samson's Lovely Mortal

A Touch of Greek

Naked Shorts (Anthology)

More details about the giveaway are on Virna's Website.My email address is: authortinafolsom at gmail dot com.

And here's a little bit more about her debut novel, which I was privileged to read a short while ago, and loved:

Five years after the Second Civil War ends, humans and otherborn— humanlike creatures with superhuman DNA—still struggle for peace. To ensure the continued rights of both, the FBI forms a Para-Ops team with a unique set of skills.

Leader of an Otherborn clan, half-breed vampire Knox Devereaux would do anything to find a cure for the anti-vamp vaccine slowly starving his people into extinction. When the FBI contacts him about leading a team of hand-selected Others on a mission to reclaim the stolen antidote, Knox accepts. His new assignment places him in direct contact with Special Agent Felicia Locke, the beautiful human he’s craved since their very first meeting.

I ran a contest for two readers to win a free e-copy of Gabriel's Mate (Scanguards Vampires #3). The readers had to leave a customer review for either Samson's Lovely Mortal or Amaury's Hellion on Amazon.com and email me their contact information by end of day December 1 (which is my Dad's birthday).

I'm in a pre-Christmas spirit and have decided to increase the number of winners from 2 to 16. The following readers have won a free e-copy (they are listed by their Amazon reviewer name):

All winners will be contacted shortly by email so they can let me know what e-format they prefer for their free book. The following formats will be available: Kindle/mobi, ePub or pdf and the e-copies will be ready to be emailed out by Friday.

I know I'm probably confusing you all, but after long discussions with my critique partner this afternoon, I've decided to change the title for Book #3 of Scanguards Vampires. It will be:

Gabriel's Mate

(Scanguards Vampires #3)

During the entire time while I was writing this novel, I was going back and forth between different titles. Normally when I write, I know the title at the very beginning and I generally stick to it. Somehow it was different with Gabriel's story. Nevertheless, I hope you all like this title.
